Rescue crews, aerial searchers on the lookout for missing skier at B.C. resort

Dec 12, 2024 | 3:23 PM

A ski resort in the British Columbia Interior says a skier has gone missing, and ground- and air-based search crews are canvassing the area.

Sun Peaks Resort says in a statement that 68-year-old Tomasz Jaholkowski was last seen on Tuesday at its West Bowl chairlift on Tod Mountain, northeast of Kamloops.

The resort says the missing skier, who appeared to be alone, was seen in surveillance video mid-morning Tuesday but had no further lift scans that day.

The statement says RCMP and Kamloops Search and Rescue are also involved in the search effort, which includes a helicopter and drones as well as search teams on the ground.

Sun Peaks Resort has released images of Jaholkowski in an effort to help skiers on the hill that day recall possible encounters with the man with the red jacket, which may help ongoing search efforts.
